Event Details
About This Event
The Revo Fitness Fremantle Running Festival on 8 Nov 2026 offers a vibrant community race at The Esplanade Reserve. Choose from a Half Marathon, 10km, 5km or a free 300m kids dash, plus a team‑based Half Marathon Relay. All proceeds support Operation Sunshine.
Course Description
Runners start on the historic Esplanade Reserve, heading along Fremantle's waterfront promenade with views of the Swan River and the bustling harbour. The 5km and 10km loops weave through heritage streets, passing the iconic Roundhouse and bustling market precincts before returning to the start. The Half Marathon follows the same scenic route twice, offering a mix of flat coastal sections and gentle undulations through leafy suburbs. The Relay splits the half‑marathon distance into a 10.1km leg and two 5.5km legs, letting teams share the experience. Well‑marked roads and ample water stations keep the race smooth and enjoyable.
Quick Facts
Getting There
The Esplanade Reserve is a 5‑minute walk from Fremantle Train Station (Fremantle Line). Limited free parking is available on Esplanade Road; paid parking is nearby at the Fremantle Port car park ($5‑$10). Bus routes 10, 11 and 12 stop within a few minutes' walk. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to collect your bib (or pre‑collect) and warm up.
Weather & What to Pack
November is spring in Australia, bringing pleasant daytime highs around 23 °C and cool evenings near 14 °C in Fremantle. Expect mild humidity and plenty of sunshine, though a light breeze off the harbour is common. Dress in breathable layers – a short‑sleeve shirt with a light jacket or vest for early morning chill, and wear a hat and sunscreen. Stay hydrated, but you won’t need heavy sweating gear.
